Our Politicians! Poem by LIGHTCHEERFUL BRIGGS

Our Politicians!



Our Politicians!
Their thinking circumcised by political cosmology
Our Politicians!
Are they not the people who made our virgins the foundation of their power of house?
Our Politicians!
In the names of our politicians, honor is fetish and corruption
Our Politicians!
Spending the inheritance of our children
Our Politicians!
The young shall inherit the national debt is their slogan
Our Politicians!
That what they have not, that which they possess
Our Politicians!
Making famine where abundance lies
Our Politicians!
They cause rationing to take over the seat of plenty
Our Politicians!
They inflict more suffering and pain than they care
Our Politicians!
They cause more problems than they solve
Our Politicians!
They eat and get fat while we only perceive the aroma of their mouth watering repasts
Our Politicians!
They said our nation is too well, and such there is no need for drugs in our hospitals
Oh our Politicians!
It is only in them that ‘availability' cries for more and ‘excess' begs all
